Ambassador Mike Waltz was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about Greenland and President Trump working to protect Americans.
Ambassador Waltz explained that during President Trump’s term in office, NATO allies increased their contributions.
“Just from a broader NATO standpoint. Look at where NATO was at the beginning of President Trump’s first term, with less than seven countries contributing the bare minimum. Now, not only do you have everyone contributing the bare minimum, you have a number going to double that,” Waltz said.
“NATO is far better for some of the tough love from President Trump,” Waltz said.
Waltz explained that Russia and China pose a threat to the Arctic and that President Trump is being proactive to keep the United States secure from our adversaries.
“I have to push back respectfully on this notion that there aren’t imminent threats in the Arctic. Russia is modernizing its nuclear program. It has nuclear powered cruise missiles now that they are testing to evade our radars. China is tripling the size of its nuclear arsenal,” Waltz warned.
“All of those assets, all of those missiles, will fly over the Arctic if they were ever to attack the United States,” Waltz said.
“President Trump is not going to wait until they are right there on our doorstep,” Waltz continued.
“Look at the shipping lanes. Russia, 60 icebreakers, China, building its own fleet. What has President Trump done? He’s now commissioned with Finland a plan to get a dozen of our own icebreakers up there,” Waltz continued.
“How many heavy icebreakers from Denmark or from Canada, Shannon? Zero, zero,” Waltz commented.
“Denmark is a great ally in many ways, but they have ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint,” Waltz explained.
“President Trump is gonna do what it takes to defend the American people, even when our allies are ignoring these glaring threats,” Waltz continued.
